Living the Creative Life

More about the book

How DO they do it? If you could ask your favorite artist or crafter only one question, chances are you'd ask about Where do your ideas come from? How did you get started? What are your tricks for overcoming blocks? In Living the Creative Life , author Ricë Freeman-Zachery has compiled answers to these questions and more from 15 successful artists in a variety of mediums—from assemblage to fiber arts, beading to mixed-media collage. Creativity is different for everyone, and these artists share their insights on the muse (if you believe in her), keeping a sketchbook (or not), and prioritizing your art, whether you aspire to create solely for your own pleasure or to become a full-time artist. No crafter or artist should live the creative life without Living the Creative Life ! The inspiration is contagious.
